Wisdom of the Crowd
As promised, here’s your collective wisdom on who’s going home with statues tomorrow night.
In cases where the runner-up was within 5% of the number of votes, I’ve included both to account for margin of error. That happened on only two categories: Best Actor, where people were nearly perfectly split between Hoffman and Ledger, and Best Live Action Short, where people were clearly pulling decisions out of their asses.
Interestingly, the most unanimously decided category was Best Documentary Short, and I’m fairly certain no more of you have seen those shorts than the live action ones. Still, stick ‘Rwanda’ in the title (as in God Sleeps in Rwanda, which garnered 78% of your votes) and it’s got to be an Oscar contender.
Check back on Monday to see how we did together, and to determine which wise voter led the pack.
